Took a Backwards Tumble

I blow whistle and then spit it out of my mouth on the way down (to protect my teeth ) and I realize as I am sitting both cheeks to the hardwood what had just happened. I look up at coach, smile and T him from the ground.

We were both okay and actually had a great laugh about it. Never did find out why he was that far out there but he was very apologetic realizing that someone could have really been hurt. Easiest call I've ever made and only time making a call from a seated position.

Excellent, now that's what I call getting down and dirty!
